Upper Austria is the number one solar region in Austria and has also a leading position in Europe with 1 m² of collector surface per inhabitant. On the whole 1,598,000 m² solar thermal collectors are installed in Upper Austria. In 2023 alone, more than 11,000 m² were installed. Solar thermal systems are commonly utilized for domestic hot water production but increasingly being configured to provide space heat as well. In the future, solar process heat and solar cooling will also play a more prominent role.
In 2023 grid-connected photovoltaic systems with a capacity of over 500 MWpeak were installed. All in all installations with approximately 1,400 MWpeak are in operation.
